In a whole-house water filtration system, a water softener is a device that reduces the calcium and magnesium ion content in water through ion exchange resin, softening the water to reduce scale formation, protect household water appliances, and improve the quality of domestic water.
Natural water usually contains a higher amount of calcium and magnesium ions, which is referred to as hard water. In daily life, hard water can lead to scale deposits, affecting the lifespan and efficiency of household appliances. Additionally, hard water can impact the health of human skin and hair, and reduce the effectiveness of cleaning products. Water softeners are typically used in conjunction with central water purifiers to effectively soften hard water, providing a more comfortable and healthy water environment.
Central water softener is generally installed downstream of pre-filters and central water purifiers. With a larger size and a high flow rate, it uses ion exchange resin to soften water, and is equipped with an automatic regeneration function, making it suitable for handling large flows of hard water.
The dual-tank water softener has two resin tanks that can work alternately. When one tank is regenerating, the other tank can still provide soft water. This design ensures continuous water supply, suitable for places with continuous water consumption and high water demand.
The three-tank water softener achieves continuous soft water supply through the alternating operation of three resin tanks. It allows for automatic switching and regeneration frequency settings of the three tanks based on water quality and water consumption needs, further enhancing the continuity and stability of the water supply.
The countertop water softener is a small water softener that usually connects directly to the faucet and is installed next to the washbasin to provide soft water. It does not require electricity and is designed for daily washing and skincare purposes, reducing skin dryness and irritation.
